Wedding Recap: Our Cake

post from My Splendid $10,000 Wedding by Vera Devera | budget wedding on 22 March 2011 07:58:00 PM. © My Splendid $10,000 Wedding by Vera Devera | budget wedding

Recently, many of my clients have been asking for my recommendation for a cake designer and I realized I hadn't given an update here on the blog on how our cake turned out -- thanks to the fabulous, Alison Okabayashi of Two for Two Cakes. (See past posts, Cake Tasting Parts 1 and 2)

Alison baked a two-tiered cake with buttercream frosting for us. Fred loves Reese's Pieces so it was only fitting that the bottom layer was the Peanut Butter Cup, made of Chocolate Butter Cake, Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting and Salted Peanuts. At our tasting, we were both bowled over by the Aunt Bea?s Banana Cake, made of Banana Cake, Heath Bar Toffee Bits, and Vanilla Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, and decided it would be our top tier. [We have a few friends who are still telling us that the Banana Cake was the best wedding cake they'd ever had!]

I had bought vintage type letter caps ($3 each) that spelled VERA and FRED and Alison tied them together with teal grosgrain ribbon and gray felt heart (the heart was her special touch). Two glittered birds in a nest topped off the design, which also feature swags and dots in charcoal gray. The cake turned out to be super cute, don't you think?

To learn more about Alison, see my interview of her here from 2009>>

Mario Dedivanovic and Eye M Glam Highlighter

post from Hooked On Beauty on 22 March 2011 04:14:04 PM. © Hooked On Beauty

Mario Dedivanovic is the hot Makeup Artist of the moment thanks largely to his BFF Kim Kardashian who co-stars in his YouTube vids as his palette showing how he creates her signature smokey eyes. He's talented, and so mesmerizing to watch. The vid below is from a recent workshop he gave to fellow Makeup Artists yearning to learn his technique.

What he's using in the vid (and says he uses often) is Eye M Glam, a highlighter he's using on her lids to make them sparkle. I just ordered it ($40 with shipping) and I hope it's worth its price tag considering I love the buckets of highlighters I already own. See, even I fall for it- my wallet was out before I finished the video.
